That’s the most accurate article on the subject I’ve read in years.

With shell scripts, I’m not sure.
With Python scripts, you want argcomplete.
Yeah DDG has been serving up AI slop lately, it’s really annoying.
Ducky see, ducky do. It’s kind of pathetic…
Because alternative clients offer features that only the for-pay official client offers, like subscriptions and playlists, and Google can’t collect data on what people subscribe to or their playlists because in alternative clients, they’re stored locally.
Google doesn’t hate third-party clients because they skip ads: it hates them because they impede surveillance and privacy invasion, which is the true bread and butter of Google.
Awesome! I didn’t know. I’m gonna try it now. Thanks!
Oh wow interesting. Thanks!
He is much too verbose, launches into side topics that have nothing to do with the subject on hand, and he speaks much too fast. But that’s his style. I believe he’s on the spectrum and doesn’t really know how to focus on what he has to say.
Having said that. I think Louis Rossmann wouldn’t be Louis Rossmann, or even be as efficient as he is, if he didn’t do that.
…for the desktop.
Newpipe and Grayjay are still going strong on Android.
Google clearly has the ability to break any and all third party client at any time.
My theory is that they’re conducting random campaigns of working-but-not-all-the-time on this or that client at different times to grind everybody down and force them to comply through shear exhaustion. Because if they banned all 3rd party client outright, it would negatively impact the antitrust case against them.
Markup applies to titles in Lemmy. But be aware that titles are displayed raw above comments so don’t go too crazy with it, so your titles display okay raw too 🙂
Personally, if I can’t watch Youtube in third party clients - which happens regularly courtesy of Google - then I don’t watch Youtube at all. The official clients are simply too painful - not to mention, a privacy-invading nightmare.
Fixed.
There has been so many of them, to be honest I picked the first one I found 🙂
All the invidious instances I’ve tried either don’t work or their API is disabled - Sorry I didn’t see “through your browser”.
Not all invidious instances work. A lot of them have been hit by Youtube. But NewPipe still works - until it gets targeted too I guess. It’s a game of cat and mouse with Google - and it’s fucking tiring.
I have my own mannerisms because I have my own personality. I don’t need to copy nobody else’s, rich or poor.
Yeah but China ain’t a democracy and Apple has their stuff manufactured in China. So you’d expect them to bend over backward to comply there.
The UK on the other hand is nominally a democracy, and Apple has no vital need to keep the UK powers that be happy. Apple could very well decide to tell them to pound sand and pull out of the country for the sake of principles, and I guarantee you the UK would quickly back down.
If Apple hadn’t complied in the UK, they would have lost a bit of profits for a while, but gained a ton of good will and credibility. They chose profits. Because corporation.
Incidentally, this whole thing should tell you how much of a democracy the UK really is.
I’m glad one more person discovered Linux is good in 2025.
I’m a random person too and I discovered Linux in 1993. Where’s my 15 minutes of fame?
Oh right, I’m not a Youtuber…
I never tapered off. I replaced hard smoking with hard vaping almost overnight - and when I mean hard vaping, I mean big mods with big drippers, tons of power, tons of clouds, tons of nicotine.
I calmed down a bit with the vaping over the years because I didn’t feel I needed as much. Then one mornng, I simply left the mod at home and stopped vaping cold turkey.
Vaping had two functions for me:
After 10 years of vaping, I really felt like tobacco was well and truly alien to me at that point, so the “crutch” aspect of vaping disappeared. As for the nicotine, I figured I could always smear some nicotine base VG onto my gums. So I quit vaping but I left home with a bottle of nic that morning, but ended up never needing it.
That’s my tobacco cessation story. Everybody’s is different 🙂
Have remembered to set the reboot in future command since
That’s not a bad idea actually. I’ll have to reuse that one. Thanks!
Tobacco. 10,000%.
I smoked 3 packs a day for 25 years.
Then when vaping appeared on the scene, I switched to vaping - HEAVY vaping, loads of nicotine (you could buy 100 mg/ml nicotine base by the gallon for a few bucks back when it was still free). For 10 years.
Then finally I quit vaping. It’s been 5 years.
I’m finally free from tobacco. And it’s entirely thanks to vaping for me. I tried a million times and only vaping finally peeled me off tobacco (and then it took me 10 years to peel myself off vaping, but that was easier).
That’s what it took and how long it took me to get off tobacco. I curse the everlasting shit out of the day I took my first drag on a cigarette…
how about they leave the fluoride in it for starters?
